Skateboard project

[Steve Kothig]

I thought I’d share a new project I did this week with a University student on a skateboard using his artwork. The young man wanted to have a cool art exhibit pce.
The skateboard had some challenges with a curved deck, but was able to scale to a good fit. We made a few of these and had one donated to our local skate park, they where having a silent auction this weekend.

Nothing wrong with that!!! School logo??? Hope he REALLY builds up a protective finish, from the skate boarding I used to do I know I was hard on mine. PS that was back in the 1960's

Cool...I've thought of doing skate decks but spoke with my son who skates a lot and he didn't really jump onboard...thought they wouldn't go over well because all the engraving is going to get ruined...I may give some a try anyway.

Steve,

I'd be interested in purchasing the Grizzly Bear artwork. Could you PM me with the artist email or give him mine signguy.ron@gmail.com

Thank Ron in San Jose

I think this would be something cool to hang on a wall more than actually use.
Yup, you would tear it up running down some rails.

[Steve Kothig]

The skateboard is not going to be used. The person that wanted this made did it as a art pce. for a wall. We did a video using 2 cameras, when it's all put together I want to post it on Utube, I have a few media artists looking at me for more art themes to do. Now that they have seen what it looks like I'll be doing some more soon. The artist is a Lethbridge University media student, working on a degree in art.

My 2cts.

Ok lets look at this really,,, first the board is fantastic and I truly believe there is a market for this. Tell me one board that is on the market today that the bottom is not painted with some design.. They know it will get thrashed but it is what looks cool that counts not if it will be perfect. If I could find a supplier for the boards I would start selling them.

I ran into a friend this week that when to the fundraiser that the skate boards was auctioned off at. He bought it at $300 and told me a lot of cool boards with all kinds of artwork when up for auction. THere where ones that where painted to having drawing add to give them a cool artistic look. My board turned some heads also. I'm glad to see that it when to a good cause and was able to help raise money in making a skate park.

That is great news

Nice job on the skateboard. I think the wheel in the second photo is a little larger than I remembered them to be, but hey if it works.....

[Russell Ludwick]

Very cool, love the graphic. How did you get the black so black?

I do this sometimes as fun work between my job shop work. They aren't run in mass production or anything, but a local art/clothing/glass shop puts them up for sale. I can't say they jump off the shelves but I like just having them where people can appreciate them. The artwork is from some great graphics artists I have met or do collaborations with. Check out my site if you would like to see some of the work I did, I took down my ebay store since I am displaying them in a store now, I just haven't updated my site.
